Where NYC Professionals Become Founders & Builders

Don’t get left outside: Join 11,000+ insiders on our Substack for exclusive, subscriber-only complimentary ticket drops—once they’re gone, they’re gone: https://www.newsletter.startupplus.club/

Networking is only as good as the room you’re in. This group is a primary gateway to the Startup+ ecosystem—the most active community for professionals, founders, and investors in NYC who are tired of the "business card exchange" and ready to actually build.
We bridge the gap between corporate expertise and startup agility. Whether you’re a professional looking to pivot, a founder seeking top-tier talent, or an operator looking for your next big move, this is where high-leverage connections happen.

The Scale of Our Network:

  • The Crowd: 16,000+ members across our NYC Meetup ecosystem.
  • The Reach: 11,000+ Substack subscribers driving over 500,000 views and reads.
  • The Builders: 3,000+ active participants on Luma attending our in-person events.

We don't do "networking for the sake of networking." We create high-value environments where the city’s top talent meets in person to move the needle.
Stop scrolling. Start connecting. Let's build the future of NYC tech together.
